Rep. Cantor: Only Palestinian "Mind-Shift" Will Bring Peace


(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Peace will only emerge when the Palestinians and the Arab world go through a "cultural mind-shift" and accept Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state, visiting U.S. House Majority leader Eric Cantor said on Wednesday. "Until that point comes, I don't think that there will be much progress." Cantor is leading a group of 28 Republican congressmen on a one-week tour sponsored by an affiliate of AIPAC, which brought 36 Democratic congressmen to the country last week. Cantor said that the "discussion of territory, lines, towns and settlements is predicated upon the Palestinians first agreeing" that Israel has the legitimate right to exist as a Jewish state. Cantor is the first cousin of Sheryl Wultz, whose son Daniel, 16, was killed in a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv in 2006.
